susan + canon :: northern neck wedding:: destination wedding photographer

{a}strid — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:35:20 +0000

a fall wedding in the house and backyard you grew up in.

could it be more perfect?

this is officially the last full wedding blog post i have for the year. and it gives me tingles cause it was truly one of my favorites. and susan + canon are one of my absolute favorites. it reminded me a lot of my own wedding actually (maybe that’s why?). it was a true southern event, every detail planned and articulated with rustic, yet elegant personal touches from susan + canon’s life. i can’t even describe how much i loved this wedding, i’ll have to let the pictures do the talking this time.

susan + canon :: thank you for being so patient waiting for this blog post! hopefully it was well worth the wait :)

enjoy :)

kinga + noel :: a snowy wedding day in october

a snowy wedding day in october. who would have thought! kinga took the entire day with style and didn’t let that get in her way of being the most beautiful bride. noel + kinga got married at the Ronald Reagan Building in DC, and i just loved their classic, elegant, timeless style that they incorporated into every aspect of the day. through rain and snow, these two were all smiles and had the time of their lives.

kinga + noel :: i hope bora bora was amazing and wish you the best of memories to come- enjoy! :)

all my brides and grooms together! :) and i have to give a big thank you to Priscilla from The Finer Points for making this unexpected snowy wedding run so beautifully!

i wanted to get this wedding out before the holiday so that jane + zia could enjoy them with their families! these two got married at National Harbor, and it was a beautiful sunny day on the water. perfect for an outdoor wedding!

jane + zia :: enjoy your preview and have a great Thanksgiving!

melissa + thomas :: a fall wedding

{a}strid — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:30:25 +0000

melissa and thomas get what a wedding day is about.

i love it when a couple completely, undoubtedly, and whole-heartedly trusts me. they trust me with this huge honor of somehow capturing the love between two people on the most important day of their lives.

thomas gave me full reign to shoot wherever, and whenever i wanted on their wedding day. that fact alone, shows the kind of people melissa and thomas are. it is their wedding day, and yet they are giving me total control. knowing about the two of them, what their wedding was all about, and what was most important to them, i knew i wanted their images to show what this day meant to them.

i feel that i found it- it was about 5:30 as the sun was going down at Zion Springs Bed & Breakfast. you will see the amazing sunset we got :)

melissa + thomas :: enjoy!
